DESCRIPTION
The LMV431, LMV431A and LMV431B are precision
1.24V shunt regulators capable of adjustment to 30V.
Negative feedback from the cathode to the adjust pin
controls the cathode voltage, much like a non-
inverting op amp configuration (Refer to Symbol and
Functional diagrams). A two resistor voltage divider
terminated at the adjust pin controls the gain of a
1.24V band-gap reference. Shorting the cathode to
the adjust pin (voltage follower) provides a cathode
voltage of a 1.24V.
The LMV431, LMV431A and LMV431B have
respective initial tolerances of 1.5%, 1% and 0.5%,
and functionally lends themselves to several
applications that require zener diode type
performance at low voltages. Applications include a
3V to 2.7V low drop-out regulator, an error amplifier
in a 3V off-line switching regulator and even as a
voltage detector. These parts are typically stable with
capacitive loads greater than 10nF and less than
50pF.
The LMV431, LMV431A and LMV431B provide
performance at a competitive price.
